James Devlin's Arsenal career was blighted by illness.
The centre forward joined from Sunderland for £80 in December 1897 but was struck by pleurisy soon after arriving.
Devlin made a goalscoring league debut against Blackpool in January 1898 but did not play first-class football for the Club again.
He moved to Airdrie in exchange for John Dick.
